Mavrix Fund Management Inc. today announced the appointment of Steve Rogers as vice president of portfolio management. Rogers will be assuming responsibility for the portfolio management of the Mavrix Enterprise Fund, a North American equity fund.

“Steve is a valuable addition to our portfolio management team, who brings with him many years of experience investing in U.S. equity markets at a leading mutual fund company,” Ray Steele, the firm’s CFO and COO, said in a release.

“We believe the recent slowdown in the North American economy will be followed by a rebound in the U.S. stock market, which is poised to perform more favourably relative to the domestic market. Having someone of Steve’s caliber lead our U.S. investing highlights our commitment to provide our clients with top advice,” Steele added.
